08:03 – We just got our first-ever order from Vanuatu, for two chemistry kits. I think that now makes it a total of 27 countries that we’ve shipped kits to. Of course, almost all of our international shipments go to Canada, Australia, and the UK, but it’s interesting to keep a running total of countries.
I see that that asshole Obama has declared war on Fox News. Perhaps he can shut them down by executive order. Or maybe not, since even his own party in congress is revolting against his high-handedness.
More kit stuff today.
Congrats, Dr. Bob. You are the epitome of the successful small business. I’m sure Obola will try to snuff you out with taxes some how. You didn’t build your business, you know.
In other nooz, the HI ObummerCare Exchange fails costing $100’s of millions, but the IRS rakes in record taxes. I guess Obola will just send a half billion to HI, his home state to build another boondoggle.
“his home state”
Didn’t I hear something somewhere about him being from Africa or the Middle East or something?
Kenya
But I don’t always believe Snopes.com:

So now I have to find time to watch Fox News in addition to all the other things I’m doing. I guess I’ll have to give up on my plan to reteach myself French so that I can read Charlie Hebdo. I still haven’t found the time to read Salman Rushdie’s most infamous work. I’m guessing it isn’t suitable bedtime reading for a four year old.
The Satanic Verses isn’t suitable for reading to anyone, if I’m remembering it correctly. It’s not that it’s unsuitable, it’s that it sucks. If not for that fatwa, it would have sold about ten copies, and six of them would have been returned.
(YMMV: on top of my being a burnout whose brain has the consistency of cottage cheese left in the fridge a bit too long and thus subject to misremberizing, I read a whole pile of banned or “inappropriate” books in quick order some years ago. I might be confusing Satanic Verses with a different book, or maybe I was just burned out on them by the time I got to it.)
I agree that The Satanic Verses got a lot more publicity than it earned on its merits. It’s quite a slog, but I wouldn’t say that it sucks; I would say it’s not Rushdie’s best work.
The various theories bruited about concerning Dear Leader’s origins tend to specify Kenya, Hawaii and Indonesia. I am pretty sure he was born in the U.S. and then lied about being an “international student” to gain a favorable admissions decision at Columbia, where all his records seem to have disappeared into thin air. We certainly know now that both parents (even if his real father was Frank Davis) were de facto communists and that he engaged in “community” activism stuff with the Chicago Machine out there, and like Field Marshal Rodham, was enthralled by the methodologies sort of invented by the late Saul Alinsky. We also know that he was friends with former Weathermen and cop-killers, Bernadine Dorhn and Bill Ayers who both have very nice jobs now. And there he is, two terms in the White House, elected by a minority of the Murkan peeps. CINC of our armed forces. Truly amazing, but I guess after Larry Klinton and his lovely wife Bruno, anything is possible.
Like Bruno becoming Prez next year.
@Mr. Dave B: To hell with the Faux Nooz Nitwits and learning French. Get some radios and master English, the language God Himself speaks.
This one’s for you, OFD: Special Forces Train With Cops For House to House Raids
“This one’s for you, OFD:”
First off, I’d be cautious about any stories and/or photos from the Alex Jones Empire.
Secondly, as at least several commenters mentioned, any SWAT and spec ops forces running around raiding homes and business here may have a few early successes but then will start running into serious problems. There are a lot of very angry and armed peeps out there nowadays; there are also organized groups who are collecting intel on various government operations like this one and “Jade Helm,” and some of them are showing up on-site at various places of active controversy. One group got some nice intel collected in and around Ferguson, MO during the troubles there, which are actually ongoing.
Here is an example of the intel I was discussing, and it’s not the only type of intel being gathered now, not by a long shot. If the Feds can collect all our data, well, that works both ways now.
